Finding Big Meaning in Childhood’s Smallest Moments

Monty P. Miani’s children’s books turn familiar childhood experiences into stories filled with humor, affection, discovery, and family connection.

Little Love Bug

Some Secrets Are Just Too Sweet to Keep.

Makayla is cheerful, playful, and always ready for fun. She also has a little secret.

Every morning before school, she asks her dad to stop for donut holes. At first, he thinks his daughter simply has a serious sweet tooth. Then he notices something strange: Makayla never seems to eat them.

Soon, Dad discovers there is much more behind those carefully chosen treats than he expected.

Playful, tender, and full of childhood charm, Little Love Bug celebrates friendship, generosity, family affection, and the innocent moments that make growing up unforgettable.

Fish and a Stick

Sometimes the Simplest Adventures Become the Best Memories.

Paul loves adventure, but there is one thing he has never done before: gone fishing.

When Nana suggests a trip to the lake, Paul expects fishing poles and proper equipment. Nana has another idea. With a stick, some fishing line, a cotton ball, and plenty of imagination, an ordinary morning begins turning into something Paul will not soon forget.

A warm story about curiosity, patience, creativity, and the quiet magic of time spent with someone you love.
